“Your happiness is your own business. Its a promise you make to yourself. It is a reward you give yourself for accomplishing what you set out to do, for achieving what you strive for. But if you fail to reward yourself for what you have accomplished, then you are essentially breaking a promise to yourself. Its like a breach of contract, compensation must always be made. You must pay all of the debts that you made, even to yourself.”
“If you're gonna have great happiness, it requires great effort in exchange, that's called compensation. For the good things in life, there are the bad. For the bad things in life, there are always the good. In order for you to be happy, you must be willing to accept a burden of a equal amount of unhappiness in exchange as your payment. The more you achieve, the greater the demands will be placed upon you in return.”
“If you believe it was destined to happen it is most likely to happen, if you believe nothing has been decided then most likely nothing has been decided.”

Maybe the man I am now is a dream that a butterfly is having.”
“If you believe in it, it is real. If you do not - it is fiction.”
“Learn to make your own decisions, instead of relying on others to make them for you. Otherwise, those decisions will never really be made.”
“Good and bad are human concepts, so something that is not human cannot be classified as neither good nor bad.”
“There are two types of dreams. Dreams from when you're awake and dreams from when you sleep. And both of those can become reality, if you strongly wish for it.”
“Often times, people simply deny the existence of what they do not understand, and anyone who tells them otherwise is a liar.”
“Words are very powerful. That's why you have to watch everything that comes out from your mouth.”
“Mysterious things are everywhere. So bizarre as often as you can hear of them. Without witness, with sight unseen, without a care it is simply a phenomenon. Merely not of concern. In this world, mankind itself has its own fantastic wonders.”

“The world... is a very small place, but... for those who know it, it is very, very large. And the world... when it is viewed by those who know... is far larger than just one world can hold.”
“Sincerity with respect to yourself! No matter what your objective... no matter who you are... if you are going to do something or not do something, that is a promise to yourself. And the one who keeps the promise, or breaks the promise, is you. No one else can be burdened with holding you to a promise that's made to yourself.”
